Check with Erica. She worked on this profile recently.
Thanks Cynthia.

I don't know what sources the Geni user who messaged the managers has...

This merge in December 2020 had a profile with 66 children and a profile with 32 children and a LOT of work was done after then.... Likely it was a GEdcom that created a mess?

https://www.geni.com/merge/view?revision_id=79382733730

--------------
He is now left with one wife and child which the Geni user says is the wrong wife and child...

People often like to message but they don't like to Discuss. The curator of the profile is not active.

I'll see what the DAR and FaG have.
Parents are also MP'd.
Winifred Tull and Spencer Caldwell, Sr are not.

This merge 2017 gave him wrong wife: https://www.geni.com/merge/view?revision_id=70387912320

The correct wife Mary Caldwell Mary Logan is now married to a different Robert:
Robert Caldwell, Sr.

They need merged or disambiguated, whichever is easier but will take a curator to do as BOTH men are MP'd.

Erica Howton please see.
Colonial American profiles both MP'd seem to represent same man but who married Winifred?

Can you name the correct wife for each of the Roberts?

In other words, should Robert Caldwell, Sr. have Mary Logan for a wife?

Who is the wife of Robert Caldwell, Sr.

Hi, Erica Howton!
According to DAR and I think the person messaging the managers of the profile --- the wife is Mary Logan but these two men have the same death date and FaG link so I think they got smushed several ways.... I do not know who Winifred is ... I can forward the message to you but I always hesitate to tag the originator of a message. Silly me!

Spencer Caldwell, Sr Added to parents Robert Caldwell, of Somerset County & Winifred Tull

This Robert was the son of John Caldwell, ll, of Somerset County & Mary Caldwell - but that’s all I know.

I am confused by this.

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Caldwell-404 & https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Logan-57

Robert Caldwell was the sixth son of John Caldwell and Margaret Phillips. He moved to Kentucky and "became prominent in the affairs of that state." Caldwell County was named for him, and he is buried with a monument in Frankfort.[1]

  • why isn’t the DAR Record mentioned?
  • does the DAR Record match the list of children?

Cynthia Curtis, A183502, US7875087 - Robert Caldwell, Sr. & Mary Caldwell and their family are now in place, if you want to report back to the original reporter.
